They had agreed on a payment. Then he happened to win. He hadn't won in like four years, so he probably didn't have a lot of thought of winning that week. He just needed an emergency guy to carry his bags. The candy would have gotten the same if Kuch had missed the cut. So to offer a bit more was nice, but I can totally get why Kuch thinks it was handled fairly.
How is he looking out for his regular caddy in this situation?
